India's laborers rest on hand carts at a closed market during a strike in Mumbai, India, Thursday, Dec. 1, 2011. Shops around India closed their doors Thursday in a strike called to protest a new policy to allow big-box retailers into the country. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government has been faced with widespread fury over its decision last week to allow supermarket giants such as Wal-Mart to own 51-percent of large "multi-brand" stores.
